Britpop band cement comeback by becoming only the 20th act to achieve two No 1 albums in a calendar year

Shed Seven have cemented one of the biggest chart comebacks in British rock, scoring their second UK No 1 album of the year – over two decades on from their Britpop heyday.

The band, who formed in York in 1990 and released their debut album in 1994, remain best known for hits such as Going For Gold and Chasing Rainbows, which channelled the increasingly symphonic style of Britpop in the wake of Oasis, Blur and Pulp’s mid-90s success.
